Spring is springing on the south-west coast of Vancouver Island. Still no solid fishing reports out of Port Renfrew, but there’s some signs of life.

Trevor from No Bananas Fishing Charters passes on a rumour of some Port Renfrew locals catching some very early season spring salmon off Camper Creek … limits of high teens to low twenties fish. So the season may be starting sooner than you think!

Early season weather is always iffy, with some winter-style storms still marching through. So if you do head out there for some fishing, make sure you check the weather reports carefully. Safety first!
